Enrollment Information

After your department has notified you of your acceptance for admission, you will receive an additional notice of acceptance from the CU Denver Office of Admissions.

Prior to the start of the registration period which begins in late spring, and if you have been notified of your acceptance from the Office of Admissions, you will be prompted to activate a new portal account called UCDAccess. In UCDAccess, you can find your registration time assignment, check your financial aid status, search for courses, pay the required enrollment deposit, register for classes, and more.
